It's Time Athletes Have Armed Security Guards At Their Homes

In what seems to be a weekly occurrence, another professional athlete had his house broken into while playing an away game and now the FBI is getting involved.

Last night, Dallas Mavericks All-Star guard Luka Dončić was traveling with the team to Phoenix to play the Suns when his house was broken into and burglarized, his business manager told ESPN.

"No one was home at the time, and thankfully Luka and his family are safe," Lara Beth Seager told the media outlet. "Luka has filed a police report, and an investigation is ongoing."

It's the latest high-profile athlete who has had his house broken into in recent weeks, along with big names like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Joe Burrow, Bobby Portis and more. 

Honestly, if I'm a semi-popular or well-known athlete, it's time to start putting armed guards or someone with a firearm's license in my house while I'm away. Not only is it a safety issue for these athletes' families, but also for their valuables as well.

And if someone doesn't want to go the route of paying for security, is it that hard to give the keys to a couple of your buddies and let them stay at your house while you're gone? 

"Alright fellas - you can watch the games on the 92-inch Plasma, eat anything you want and drink whatever alcohol you so desire. Your only responsibility is to protect the house and if someone dares come in that isn't supposed to be there, let 'em have it."

Patrick Mahomes literally signed a contract for $450 million, Burrow for $275 million, and Luka Doncic signed a five-year extension for $215 million. CLEARLY these guys can afford to have someone in their house watching it who is armed and ready to defend it if need be.

That's what Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa does, and
